ford has twice as many as than the other 4 combined!

thing is... if stuff like this isn't said at the time, it doesn't get to the people that need to hear it most. how many of the people that were cheering for ford would read this article or ones like it? probably very few. i wish they would see how much he lies to them, and uses them really.

No, I don't.

If you're still a Ford supporter NOW, I don't think anyone could change their mind.

What exactly do you wanna know about me?

at the time i was trying to see if i could verify how close you are to rob. i don't wanna know anything about you, per se. i was just seeing if anything would affect how much weight to give the things you were sharing.

'cause if you are jayson, it sounds like you may know some juicy stuff. jayson sounds like he's partied with the mayor.

Lots of folks here are sayin' Ford was high this afternoon.

Not that I wouldn't put it past him, but ... how would some of you folks know ... unless you lot have been high yourselves?

Hey, I will freely admit to knowing high, both from personal experience in a very misbegotten youth and from seeing shit tonnes of wasted in my lifetime. I'm especially good at identifying the people who are trying to hide their wasted because eventually you can figure out their 'tells'.

Ford's actually really good at the 'passing' part of it. We've seen the over-the-top stuff, like the murder rant video and the St. Paddy's day tapes. But on a more regular basis, like today's Danzig interview, it's been easy to dismiss his awkward interviews as, well, awkward. But once you factor in the history of drinking and drug use, you can watch countless reels of Ford talking and see the difference in how he speaks when he's on something.

When he's wasted he talks slower, a bit hesitantly, sometimes he sways, he speaks more softly and tries to seem serious and thoughtful. He mumbles or his sentences trail off. He tries to sound indifferent, instead of his usual passion. He also has a wasted auto-pilot mode (like all the good 'passing' addicts have) and you can see him visibly relax when he finds a standard talking point to rely on before going back to the awkward. He also tries to limit his exposure - either by avoiding the reporter, as he did today, cutting the interview short, or he shuts his eyes for long stretches or gets squinty and avoids eye contact as if to ensure no one really sees him.

You may know him personally JKDM, and think you have a sense of how wasted he is or isn't. And FWIW, I don't believe you're trolling the thread by questioning how we know what we think we know. But I don't really care whether you believe us or not. My own eyes and ears are good enough for me. I don't need a breathalyzer or a positive drug test to prove what I already know.

I'm no evvabeing, so I don't have a long list of examples at the ready to share with you. But if you start by reviewing the community clean up video from last year, when we know he spent the night getting wasted, then you can see a common thread in his demeanor in other daytime, on-the-job videos.

Magnus Racing 'honors' Toronto Mayor Rob Ford at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park

“Since we were so close to Toronto, we wanted to race in a way the Toronto fans were familiar,” stated Magnus Racing team owner and co-driver John Potter. “If we scored podiums all the time, people would know what to expect so we wanted to have more erratic results for the folks out there. Much like mayor Rob Ford we want to be unpredictable, but also refuse to quit. When we looked at turn one, we also thought it would be fitting to cut over the white line in tribute.”

While Mayor Ford, most noted for his alcoholic benders and even being caught on camera smoking crack cocaine, was not physically present to enjoy his tribute, his spirit was certainly there. Much like previous invited guests such as Lindsay Lohan and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Ford has been out of public eye recently due to “exhaustion.”

For Magnus Racing, the team was optimistic heading into the legendary Canadian Tire Motorsports Park, a scenic circuit located an hour east of Toronto. Since IMSA officials had not stripped Porsche of any more power, unlike the Toronto City Council with Mayor Ford, the team was hoping the circuit could present another strong finish in the team’s pursuit of the series’ GTD title.
